      Check the rest of the dmesg if something else is using irq10. Also disable everything in the bios that you don't need (serial ports, lpt ports, soundcards,…). If the bios has an option for pnp os make sure it is set to "no".

        Thanks  hoba

        The network card is on irq 10

        dmesg | grep "irq 10"

        rl1: <d-link 10="" dfe-530tx+="" 100basetx="">port 0xb800-0xb8ff mem 0xdfeffe00-0xdfeffeff irq 10 at device 5.0 on pci3
        uhci1: <intel 82801ba="" bam="" (ich2)="" usb="" controller="" usb-b="">port 0xdc00-0xdc1f irq 10 at device 31.4 on pci0
        rl1: <d-link 10="" dfe-530tx+="" 100basetx="">port 0xb800-0xb8ff mem 0xdfeffe00-0xdfeffeff irq 10 at device 5.0 on pci3
        uhci1: <intel 82801ba="" bam="" (ich2)="" usb="" controller="" usb-b="">port 0xdc00-0xdc1f irq 10 at device 31.4 on pci0
        rl1: <d-link 10="" dfe-530tx+="" 100basetx="">port 0xb800-0xb8ff mem 0xdfeffe00-0xdfeffeff irq 10 at device 5.0 on pci3
        uhci1: <intel 82801ba="" bam="" (ich2)="" usb="" controller="" usb-b="">port 0xdc00-0xdc1f irq 10 at device 31.4 on pci0

        I guess thats the issue ? I wonder how I can change that, should I try a different PCI slot ?</intel></d-link></intel></d-link></intel></d-link>

          You could try that, or as I suggested disable other unneeded devices in the bios. There's usually a lot of stuff that you can turn off as you don't need it to run pfSense to free up some hardwareressources.

              Ok I was able to do it now. The irq 10 is clean now, still no luck with the devices

              dmesg | grep "irq 10"

              uhci1: <intel 82801ba="" bam="" (ich2)="" usb="" controller="" usb-b="">port 0xdc00-0xdc1f irq 10 at device 31.4 on pci0

                The funny thing is that when I disconnect the UPS I get this messages,

                Apr 14 22:58:09 pfsense kernel: (null): at uhub0 port 1 (addr 2) disconnected
                Apr 14 23:00:02 pfsense kernel: (null): at uhub0 port 2 (addr 2) disconnected

                but nothing on connect to eather port, and this was all good before :(

                  Reinstallation should not be neccessary but maybe it would help. Try to fire up the livecd and see if it detects the hotplug of the ups before reinstalling.

                  Oh, and did you try to reset the ups? Maybe it has crashed and doesn't provide useful information anymore to the system?

                    I tried with another UPS and all the same, for some reason it doesn't see that kind of UPS, I was able to use a USB keyboard, USB jumpdrive all fine hotpluged and everything, but when I plug in the UPS I get nothing…...... I disabled everything in the BIOS even the floppy...... This is very strange I wonder whats different here vs 1.0.1

                    For reference its a APC Backup UPS ES 350R

                      I would start searching freebsd lists regarding usb and that ups. 1.0.1 and 1.2 have different freebsd versions. 1.2 is much newer of course.

                        Yeah I figured as much, I looked last night, couldn't really find much. I cant remember what version of FreeBSD was 1.0.1 on ?

                            Well I looked around, and I cant find anything. I will try installing 6.2 on a white box and try connecting to it to see what happenes.

                              Worth visiting the NUT (Network UPS Tools) list archive too.  ISTR that FreeBSD and USB UPS support is still pretty poor.

                                  Rather than downgrading, you can look the other way to see if that will help. pfSense 1.2.1 should be here by the end of the month, and will be based on FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE (rather than the 6.2-RELEASE used in 1.2).

                                  Click here for the development snapshots. The ISO works fine on my Dell Poweredge R200, which, being ICH9 based, will not work with FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE. However, it's not advised to use this in production.
